Info:
MORGUL BLADE brandish power chords and swords like a swarm of Nazgûl from the Keep of Barad-Dur itself. Their second full-length album is titled "Heavy Metal Wraiths" and releases on CD, vinyl and digital formats on 26th April 2024 via No Remorse Records.
MORGUL BLADE's new album delivers righteous headbanging anthems. Songs like the title track and "Beneath the Black Sails" lean into their love of Tolkien lore, with the arena rock attitude inspired by Dokken and the Scorpions. Other tracks like "Frostwyrm Calvary" attack with the ice cold speed of classic black metal. More ambitious yet are "Razor Sharp" and "Neither Cross Nor Crown," which speak to the band's working class attitude and disdain for zealotry. "Heavy Metal Wraiths" is an instant classic blackened epic heavy metal album.
MORGUL BLADE's 2021 debut "Fell Sorcery Abounds" quickly gained Album of The Year mentions throughout the metal world. Following its release, the band solidified its line up with the addition of guitarist Sister Midnight and bassist Jimmy Viola. In March 2023, MORGUL BLADE toured the United States, culminating with a ferocious performance at Hell's Heroes Festival in Houston, TX. MORGUL BLADE will celebrate their album release on 26 April with a performance at Keep It True Festival in Germany.
"Heavy Metal Wraiths" was engineered, mixed and mastered by Will Mellor at Red Water Recording. Album cover by James Bousema. Photos by Dante Torrieri.
